Your email users may have an option of forwarding select messages to their =
phones by identifying the sending email address This bypasses any spam conc=
erns as the email user determines which email source to allow to go to thei=
r phone.=20

I have advised my clients and business associates to utilize this option du=
e to security concerns, phone carrier restrictions, etc.=20

Email to text is very unreliable, very prone to SPAM blocking, most provide=
rs charge an extra fee equivalent to a small data package anyway, and you n=
eed the provider data for each phone number in order to send the message! A=
nd your users won=E2=80=99t know that.=20

For one time costs of about $ 150 you can buy an SMS modem, and $200 buys D=
iafaan SMS server, and then for about $15 a month you can send unlimited SM=
S messages that actually have proof of delivery. It also works as a 2-way s=
ystem.=20

Much better system than BLAT when there are risks attached to delayed deliv=
ery.=20

You could send email through the cellular provider's system to SMS. Most=20
cell providers have a gateway, and you email to the cell phone=20
[email protected]. For example, to send text to my cell=20
phone from email I send to [email protected] (where the 'x'es are=20
my 7 digit cell phone number).=20
